In the future, food is no longer necessary—until Thalia begins to feel something unfamiliar and uncomfortable. She’s hungry.

In
Thalia’s world, there is no need for food—everyone takes medication (or
“inocs”) to ward off hunger. It should mean there is no more famine, no
more obesity, no more food-related illnesses, and no more war. At least
that's what her parents, who work for the company that developed the
inocs, say. But when Thalia meets a boy who is part of an underground
movement to bring food back, she realizes that most people live a life
much different from hers. Worse, Thalia is starting to feel hunger, and
so is he—the inocs aren’t working. Together they set out to find the
only thing that will quell their hunger: real food.

H. A. Swain delivers an adventure that is both epic and fast-paced. Get ready to be Hungry.

I wasn't actually sure about this one when I first heard it. Honestly, it sounded a lot ridiculous. People not eating as a setting for the future and not to mention the girl's name is Thalia Apple. Apple? And she's hungry? It was something that I initially was like "this is going to be so riduculous" and a lot of me still thinks that, but at least now, I'm going to open my mind a bit more.This book is on my WoW because I feel like this author might surprise me. We've all read books that synopsis sound dumber than the book really is. I love dystopian and even if this book is a little ridiculous, I'm going to give it a try. After all, it's definitely original. And I know how much it takes to go original at the risk of scrutiny - so I might as well give it a chance.

I'm actually looking forward to reading Hungry too! I heard about it like three weeks ago and after reading the synopsis like two or three times I finally convinced myself the book was worthy of having a chance to be read. It totally does sound original! :-D

Share your thoughts! I'm always looking for insight from other readers because hey - your opinion matters! Also, if no one's told you yet, I just want to say that I love your smile and that you should grace all of us with it.
